Two French planes carrying doctors and medical supplies will leave for Benghazi, Libya's second city, in the hands of opponents of Muammar Gaddafi, said on RTL radio Monday Francois Fillon. "In a few hours, two planes will leave for Benghazi at the request of the French government with doctors, nurses, medical equipment, medicines, and this is the beginning of a massive humanitarian support to people in the liberated territories," said the Premier.
Mr Fillon is also reneged on a hypothetical intervention to hunt Muammar Gaddafi. The New York Times, Washington and its European allies are considering banning all flights over Libya to prevent the massacre of civilians by the Libyan aviation loyal to dictator Muammar Gaddafi. The daily, quoting a senior U.S.
administration who requested anonymity, no decision has yet been taken. "We are studying all options to ensure that Colonel Qaddafi understands that he must go. (...) I know that evokes military solutions, these solutions are under evaluation the French government, "said Fillon. "I heard several observers explain the need for example to prevent the overflight of Libyan territory.
It is an option that is being studied," he said. But, as the leader of the French Government, such a decision "can be taken only on the basis of a decision of the Security Council and UN (...) can not be only in the context of a joint operation with major countries. " "Nobody in Europe today has the means alone to perform this operation.
It would therefore involve NATO, and I think there is a reflection to be," argued the Prime Minister. "Is that NATO should be involved in a civil war in southern Mediterranean, is a question which, to say the least, deserves to be considered before being launched," he said.
